In Oregon during the Great Depression, a battle-scarred veteran (Ethan Hawke) is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal work camp where the Warden (Russell Crowe) tempts him with early release if he smuggles gold through deadly wilderness.

At a posh country club outside Manila, 17-year-old Isabel from the rural north works the immaculate grounds, sampling its luxuries as the members engage in a complex dance with the staff.

When a respected academic gets sidelined by the story of the Chronovisor — a device capable of transmitting visuals from any point in history to a TV screen — she unearths an elaborate web of conjecture and conspiracy.

Sacred Harp singing has survived over 200 years tucked away from sight in the rural deep South. To the casual observer, it is foreign and unintelligible, but to the singers, it is the key that unlocks mysteries — songs of both beauty and sorrow, of life and of death, songs that cause feet to stomp and tears to flow, often at the same time. AWAKE, MY SOUL has been re-edited and remastered for its 20th anniversary.

Director Maya Annik Bedward traces the evolution of the zombie from colonial Haiti to contemporary Hollywood, exposing how Black spiritual traditions were distorted and erased.

An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell’s THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption — and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell.
